CLOSING THE GENDER GAP IN TECHNICAL DISCIPLINES: AN INVESTIGATIVE STUDY
SINOPSIS
The goal of this study was to investigate the efficacy of curriculum and instructional techniques in a technical core course to create a more conducive learning environment for women. The technical core course introduced technology majors to mechanical systems, electronics, and fluid power principles through lectures and laboratory work. Female students already enrolled in the department and female alumnae of the program were surveyed. The students' responses to the survey showed that although the female participants in the study were pleased with the instructors, the curriculum, and the instruction they received, they had recommendations for modifying the instruction.
